They don't, but I think *some* of these genes vs culture debates miss out on even considering the role of knowledge.

Oh. Then point out a conversation which exemplifies what you mean or recount one or make up a hypothetical one.

Nature v. nurture is interesting, but it doesn't by itself explain the full range of human behaviour, or diffs between people.
